Manchester City are reportedly expected to finalise a deal for Jules Kounde after agreeing terms on a five-year contract with the Sevilla defender.
The Citizens are rumoured to have turned their focus to Kounde after accepting defeat in their long-running pursuit of Napoli's Kalidou Koulibaly.
City have so far been unable to reach an agreement with Sevilla for the 21-year-old's services, but Foot Mercato suggests that a transfer is edging closer.
Kounde is said to be keen on a switch to the Etihad Stadium, but Pep Guardiola's men must now match Sevilla's supposed £64m valuation before the October 5 deadline.
City, who have already brought in centre-back Nathan Ake this window, kick off their Premier League campaign with a trip to Wolverhampton Wanderers on Monday night.
